[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 00/16] -boot and -no-fd-bootchk fixes

[Markus Armbruster]

This has been rotting in my tree since February.  Sorry about that.

I'm afraid -boot regressed in 1.4, specifically commit e4ada29e.  This
series fixes it, along with related bugs, and tops off with tests.

PATCH 01-03 fix the regression, PATCH 04 cleans up afterwards.  I'm
refraining from nominating them for stable, because we regressed quite
some time ago, and the fix isn't exactly minimal.

PATCH 05 makes -no-fd-bootchk behave more sanely, and PATCH 06 fixes
up docs.  The case for stable is even weaker here: the old behavior
hasn't changed in quite a few releases, and nobody complained.

PATCH 07 tweaks qtest to make testing -boot once possible.  The
remaining patches add tests.

v3:
* Rebased, with only trivial conflicts
* PATCH 08 cosmetic improvements
* More test cases: new PATCH 09-16
v2:
* New PATCH 7 to make testing -boot once possible
* Old PATCH 5 reworked and extended became PATCH 8
* Writing more tests uncovered -no-fd-bootchk weirdness, cleaned up in
  new PATCH 5+6
